I talked to the guy who runs www.formymercedes.com and he said they're gonna have one for under $300 by the end of June, if you can wait. It's in production now. They've already completed the CL-style grille for the W211, so you can see how that looks. Apparently, it will be similar to the Expression grille though.

I like the Expression style CL grill with the hollow stars, the ones one ebay seems very similar except for the "3D style star" which I don't like.
I notice a lot of those grills used OE stars from MB and maybe it is interchangable with the non-distronic stars(hollow) from a CL.

"This style grill is being made, but they are not finished with it. I wish I could give you an exact date but I can't. I can guess at less than 60 days, with a retail of $259, factory star"

IMO, the CL Grill for W211 above somehow looks a bit ugly or at least not my taste. If you check carefully, it's being made different from CL style for C-Class. The one for C-Class is just perfect as CLK, SL, etc.
Look carefully:
CL Grill on W211 has 5 lines (bars)
--> looks weird i think. it seems that the car really has a BIG nose.
CL Grill on C-Class has 4 lines (bars) --> GOOD

I found this picture online. and look this is HOW CL-Grill for W211 should be made. The one posted on thread above is definitely out of my taste. Check out this picture, the way it's made is similar to the CL-Grill for C-Class.
